Swashbucklers Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 And the problem is? By the way, I found out today that my second child will be a boy (two boys), and my wife and I are not planning to go for 3, so I've realized that I can be a sexist pig for the rest of my life. Thank God. What makes this statement great is that I just found out that my second child will be a girl, so I am on the opposite side of the fence. Hopefully her big brother will look out for her well-being! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yo mama Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 (edited) Just so its out there HPV is also associated with squamous cell carcinoma of the penis, anus and oral cavity(although not nearly as strongly as cervical) It is almost to the point where there are as many men affected by HPV related cancers as there are women with HPV related cervical cancer. So it wouldn't be a terrible idea to give the vaccine to young boys. I doubt there will be the public health push for it until the vaccine is more widely acepted for girls, but you may want to think about it for your boys in the future or even ask your doc about it now. Getting your insurance to pay for it is another story altogether even for girls, and it isn't exactly cheap ($600ish for the entire 3 shot series). The good folks at Planned Parenthood are already working to educate people about the benefits of vaccinating boys, as well as girls (though I don't know if the boy vaccine is available yet). At some PP clinics they'll vaccinate girls at a free or reduced cost, depending on financial need. But even at $600, its worth it. I mean, its a vaccine against *cancer* (not to mention genital warts). Small price to pay to dodge those bullets.

AtomicCEO Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Ugly people produce boys, google it. Congrats Gomer pile! You made my wife cry. Of course, I'm the one that actually found the article: http://www.lse.ac.uk/collections/pressAndI...6/Beautiful.htm And sent it to her. Wife: So, I'm ugly? Me: Honey, we're both ugly! Wrong answer again, apparently. I'm not good with women. I still blame you, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
